The 15th Friday four of 2024
Every week on Friday I spent a few moments reflecting on the four highlights from the studio. Let’s get into it!
Last weekend I hosted two bachelorette parties to do Candle Pour Bar! The studio space in West Branch is perfect for an intimate gathering of friends, where you can bring in decorations and treats, and shower people with love. Plus West Branch is the best town to grab lunch, walk around to boutiques and explore! I love helping people bring their events together here. If you know someone planning for a special occasion, consider recommending Tura Lura Co. as a spot! Your honest recommendations, reviews, and word of mouth has been so appreciated.
I spent this morning getting my planters ready outside the studio. Come take a look, I’m at the studio today 4/12 noon to 4pm and tomorrow 4/13 noon to 3pm! My youngest, Emmitt, helped me pick out the flowers at the nursery, and we’ve been caring for them this week and pulling them inside to avoid harsh rain and wind. We usually wait until Mother’s Day to plant at our house, but I am going all in and adding some color outside the studio with flowers in the planters! I’ll put some pictures up on Instagram this week, please send me positive (and warm) vibes that we are past the frost in Iowa :)
Speaking of Mother’s Day, it’s hard to believe Mother’s Day is right around the corner! The weekend before we are hosting a special edition of Candle Pour Bar with Dried Floral Bar on Saturday May 4, where we will make candles then will complete bud vases while our candles dry. It’ll be a special class, I know some folks have signed up as a pre-Mother’s Day gathering. Sign up for classes in April and May is live on the website, and I’m happy to make you a physical gift certificate if you wanted to gift someone an experience.
Posting the Grand Opening Giveaway winner on Instagram yesterday was a highlight of the week! The response “ekkkkk I’m screaming” made my day. I started this company from a place of gifting candles to neighbors and friends, and I love to surprise and host give aways with people.
It’s looking like a beautiful day, I hope you get to enjoy some sunshine and Happy Friday!
Sending you love and light,
Erika
